What a half term of sport! We have had an abundance of extracurricular activities as well as a multitude of fixtures.
We have been involved in local events such as the sport hall indoor athletics county rounds, where all the girls involved performed with great determination. Eight Year 6 girls competed in the indoor rowing competition, coming 1st in 2 events and 3rd overall as a team.
We have had great success in swimming and running. We took a team from each age group to the Manor Prep School's cross country competition and with over 15 schools racing, we did exceedingly well. Our U10s and U8s came 1st overall and our U11s and U9s came 2nd overall! A special mention to Imo, Sienna and Bronte who all placed in the top 3 individually, out of 40 children. We have hosted numerous swimming galas with the girls racing with passion and invigoration and are on an unbeaten streak with certain age groups.
In football, the U11 team travelled to Fairfield for a tournament. The work the girls have been doing shone through when they came away unbeaten! Our hockey players picked up their sticks, last weekend, for a practise for the county tournament after half term. They came away with wins in both games against The Croft and Bromsgrove.
In the games arena, netball takes centre stage this term, and what a first half term it has been. Every year group has participated in fixtures and the U10s and U11s have both had multiple occasions where the whole year group has been invited to play. A few highlights have been our U8 & U9 teams traveling to Stamford for a tournament against various schools where both teams came away unbeaten. Our U10As have won all of their games so far. Let's hope this is a premonition of what's to come. What a season our U11s have had so far. Most Thursdays we have fielded eight teams of girls and they have played amazing netball.
Our A team headed to Uppingham for the regional IAPS, where they won all of their round games. Unfortunately, they lost in the knockout to the overall winners of the tournament. What an amazing achievement. They played brilliantly!
The most important thing to us, as a department, is that all of the children are loving their sport and we are so proud of everyone who is involved in clubs, fixtures and puts their all in games lessons. Here’s to another fantastic half term of sport!

On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 January, Mila competed at the Small Pony Premier showjumping show at Aintree Racecourse.
Mila jumped both her ponies successfully for joint 1st on Saturday and Sunday in the U11 class, to see her qualify for the finals in March.
Daisy and Mila had a jump around the bigger courses against children a few years older than her and in the 128 handicap special late on Saturday night, they got into the jump off and came 4th but was the highest placed 128 pony (the rest were on slightly bigger ponies but the class was merged).
On the Sunday, Mila jumped at 8am which meant a very early start after a late finish on Saturday. Mila had to walk the course on her own and did very well in the Graham Heaths class. She just had a pole which put her out the placings but she did very well as it was a big step-up for both of them!

What a fantastic term of sport we have had here at Warwick Prep. With all of the children immersing themselves within the extracurricular activities, games and PE, lots of new skills have been learnt and lots of fun has been had.
Hockey
We have had three whole year group fixtures for Year 6 this half term. It has been brilliant to see all of the children throw themselves into the sport. The A team showed incredible determination at the IAPS hockey competition, giving it their all in every game. Our Year 5 teams have had great success, not losing any games across the teams and the Year 3 and Year 4 girls have played in fun festivals as a fabulous introduction to fixtures.
Swimming
This half term has seen the Year 6 A team win against Bromsgrove, with personal best times for all our Warwick Prep girls. This gala combined our Foundation swimmers from Years 6, 7 and 8 at Warwick Prep, Warwick Juniors, King’s High and Warwick School. In the pool, girls have been working hard on activities to help them explode off the blocks, ensuring our relay take overs are quick and maintaining streamlined body positions.
Gymnastics
The gymnasts are working towards a competition in November that involves them learning a routine and a vault. This half term, we have focused on the skills in the routine paying special attention to flexibility in our legs, strong arms and controlled balance. Keep up the good work girls!
Skiing
Last Saturday, the Foundation skiers participated in the English Ski Schools Finals, in Norfolk.
We are thrilled that 5 Foundation ski teams qualified for and skied at this event on the Norwich Ski Slope at such an early stage in the development of the Warwick Schools Ski Racing programme.
The U12 girls team missed a podium position but came a very respectable 4th! They are dedicated to their training and racing, have courage and determination and should be very proud of what they have achieved.

As the year comes to a close and we have completed our final Sports Day, all that is left to do is say have a lovely summer to you all. We hope that the children keep active over the break, as much for their mental wellbeing as their physical.
There are always lots of different ways to stay active: holiday camps, park runs, family time playing sport or perhaps walking.
We have put a summer challenge on the notice board, in case the children would like a little bit of structure. We look forward to hearing about all of the wonderful things the children have been up to when they are back. Happy holidays from the PE Department.
